Hello Tuesday. April 23 2024 |
|
|
With kids going back to school and the end of summer steadily creeping closer, we’re longing to enjoy as much time outside as we can — especially while doing our best Titanic impression (cue that sweet, sweet Celine Dion song).
Grab your swim trunks + flippie-floppies River City, because today we’ve got three options for boating activities on the Sacramento River.

⚓ River City Queen With many cruise options available, from a twilight-lit three-course dinner to indulging your sweet tooth with cookies and ice cream, River City Queen’s trips run ~2 hours + are available to book for private occasions like weddings. ⚓ Delta King
The floating hotel (which we’re now calling a float-el because it’s literally right there) situated on Old Sac’s waterfront hosts dinners and live music + even comes equipped with a 110-seat Victorian-style theater available to rent that previously hosted the Sacramento International Film Festival. ⚓ Sac Brew Boat
Like peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and chocolate, or peanut butter and bananas (is there anything that peanut butter ISN’T amazing with?), day-drinking and boating go together hand-in-hand (responsibly, of course). You and up to 17 others can BYOB aboard a pedal or tiki boat + take a 90-minute journey along the river — with a stop by the riverside restaurant Virgin Sturgeon of course.
